Chapter 289: First Battle Transforming into a Giant

After buying 10 pairs of boxers, Chen Yiming returned to the military camp.

The stronghold was secretly threatened by the Western martial master. With the spiritual figure taking action, he could not leave the stronghold for the time being. Since he had nothing to do, he planned to continue supervising his sister’s archery training.

On the wide training ground, more than 10 formations with about 10,000 soldiers were lined up. A burly officer stood in front of the troops and spoke to them.

These soldiers had just been transferred from Jiangnan province to the otherworld. Each of them was an elite in their respective teams. After some simple training, they were about to be deployed to the battlefield in the rocky plains.

His sister’s archery teacher, Wu Youjia, ran over from the square. The burly officer followed beside her.

“Sir, this is Division Commander Wei,” Wu Youjia introduced.

At this moment, division commander Wei was smiling and had a respectful expression. He was no longer as stern as he was with the soldiers earlier, and he was like a gentle elder.

“What’s the matter?” Chen Yiming asked after sizing him up.

“Sir, without you guarding the stronghold in the otherworld, there wouldn’t be such a good situation. The soldiers all admire you. Can you go over and say a few words to encourage them?” division commander Wei said a little fearfully.

He knew that the Western corporations had set up a trap for Chen Yiming, and that there was still no concrete information about the Western martial master who was in charge of killing him.

Whether he had already been killed by Chen Yiming was another matter. At the very least, he could tell that it wouldn’t be easy for a martial master to come here.

Such an expert had actually already broken free from the restrictions of the country. There were almost no means to restrain him, so he had no choice but to be careful.

Faced with this request, Chen Yiming wanted to reject it.

It was obvious that these soldiers were going to join the battlefield in the rocky plains. If he spoke to them now, it would damage his image.

It would be too unfair to the factions other than the military if he revealed some insider information. It had to be known that he was even letting the Myriad Phenomena Sect go without any guidance.

He looked up at the three glowing spheres in the sky. “I’ll pass on the speech. I’m in a hurry.”

Division commander Wei smiled and said, “It’s alright. You can go about your business first. If there’s anything you need help with, feel free to instruct Xiao Wu to do it.”

Hearing this, Chen Yiming started to become more vigilant.

Ever since he had the combat strength at the peak of the warrior realm, he no longer needed to hide anything. The only disadvantage was that his private matters would definitely be secretly watched by various parties.

No wonder they had arranged for his sister to have such a hot archery teacher. He could not fall for the trap.

…

They returned to the residence that the military had arranged for the teachers and students of the martial arts academy.

Zhao Meijing and Cai Xihe, the two martial arts teachers, were surrounded by students and chatting non-stop.

Chen Yiming heard a group of students insisting on going to the rocky plains.

Chen Yingying ran over quickly and asked excitedly, “Brother, I went out for breakfast in the morning and saw many students from the other cities. When are we setting off?”

Chen Yiming rolled his eyes at his sister. “Why should we go there? You don’t lack cultivation resources.”

Chen Yingying’s eyes widened before she stammered, “But… everyone is going. I also want to see the large battlefield.”

“I still have something to do, so I can’t leave the stronghold. Why don’t you go by yourself?” Chen Yiming asked, knowing what his sister was thinking.

“…”

Chen Yingying pouted and stopped talking.

What a joke. The creatures from the otherworld were disgusting and ferocious. How could she dare to run around alone? Most of the thoughts of heading to the rocky plains were extinguished.

…

After handing his sister over to Wu Youjia, Chen Yiming left the stronghold and stopped at an empty spot three to four kilometers away.

He thought of a good plan. It was not convenient to transform into a giant in the stronghold, and there were no suitable enemies around the stronghold. However, could the space in the ring work for this purpose?

Previously, the female spirit could not do anything to the figure in his mind. Now that his spiritual power had completed the transformation and he had the enhancement from the Undying Body attribute, it would not be a problem for him even if he got injured.

If it really didn’t work out, he could just leave.

Chen Yiming entered the space in the ring for the third time. It was still as empty as before, and he knew that the situation in the center was hidden by the fog.

Now that he had become stronger, he was more daring. His materialized spiritual power directly turned into a large fan that waved crazily at the center.

The fog was easily broken through, revealing the golden and silver vortexes hidden within, as well as the restrained female spirit.

The moment the fog dissipated, the female spirit opened her eyes. Her gaze was filled with killing intent, and her long hair floated in the air.

Chen Yiming was almost given a fright when he saw this. However, the other party didn’t really attack like last time, so he heaved a sigh of relief.

His eyes flickered with excitement as he called on the mysterious power from the giants.

Transform!

In the next moment, a stream of air appeared in the ring space and surrounded his body.

Even the golden streams of light that were sucked into the golden vortex from the crack were attracted by the airflow around him and were absorbed by the figure formed by his spiritual power.

A strange energy flowed through the figure formed by his spiritual power, then it quickly became taller and stronger. According to the ratio, it was about the same as a normal person growing to a height of 100 meters.

Although this was not his real body, the sense of power he felt did not change.

Chen Yiming scanned his surroundings and realized that the female spirit wasn’t even as tall as his ankle after the transformation, but his head was still far from the ceiling of the ring space.

He gasped. “This space is really strange. At first glance, it looks broken, but the size doesn’t match what I sensed.”

At first, he had felt a little confident, but at this moment, he calmed down a little. He would have to change his target and not provoke the female spirit for the time being.

He looked at the inner wall of the space and threw a punch at it.

“Bang!”

The entire space in the ring shook, and incomprehensible symbols immediately appeared on the inner wall, nullifying the impact from the punch.

“This sandbag is not bad!”

One punch wasn’t enough to satisfy him. Chen Yiming used his hands, feet, and shoulders to attack in the simplest and most direct way. He kicked, punched, and slammed into the wall… Every attack created a ring of air waves on the inner wall. In the outside world, it would be equivalent to an explosion.

The thrill of simple violence made him regret choosing the sword technique as his first talent. Back then, he should have chosen a fist technique.

In the entire space in the ring, incomprehensible symbols appeared one after another, shining with a dazzling light that lit up the entire space.

The female spirit in the middle was looked on in stunned silence as though she was watching a fool.

After unleashing his power for 10 minutes, Chen Yiming took a deep breath and stopped.

After obtaining such powerful strength, he felt an indescribable sense of relief at being able to release it.

He tried to leave through the crack in the space in the ring and felt confident again. He turned around and shouted at the female spirit, “Just like last time, come on! I will be waiting for you here!”

There was a high chance that there was a language barrier, so the female spirit frowned and didn’t do as Chen Yiming wished.

Seeing this, Chen Yiming waved his fist at his opponent a few more times, indicating that she should hurry up and attack him like the last time. He wanted to test how much his transformation into a giant would change his spiritual strength.

As expected, waving one’s fist was a form of open provocation that could overcome the language barrier.

The female spirit’s gaze narrowed, and the entire space in the ring seemed to freeze. Just like the previous time, a ground-crushing pressure descended on Chen Yiming.

“Yes!”

Chen Yiming roared and threw out both fists.

However, as soon as he made contact with the invisible pressure, he felt that his entire body was about to shatter.

The giant’s body formed from his spiritual power began to retreat step by step and seemed to shrink in size.

When it reached about half its original size, the golden and silver vortexes above and under the female spirit spun quickly, resonating with the strange runes on the inner wall.

At that moment, the pressure dissipated, and the giant’s body stopped shrinking.

“I still can’t defeat her. I can’t provoke the female spirit for the time being.”

Chen Yiming sat down and quickly repaired his broken body. After taking a deep breath, he ran out of the ring space.

Finally, he said, “Just you wait!”

…

In the outside world, because the gold and silver vortexes had been triggered again, the spot where Chen Yiming was standing had turned into a circle of scorched earth. It was as if a heavenly fire had fallen and scorched the ground within a kilometer.

A huge creature that looked like a pterodactyl with two long snake heads was circling in the sky.

Its wings were spread out, covering the sky. It was at least 70 to 80 meters long, and its entire body was blue-purple in color, burning with blue-black flames.

Green liquid dripped from the corners of its mouth from time to time, and the power of lightning flickered on its other head.

Overall, it looked like a monster from ancient Greek mythology, the chimera.

This strange bird was only one step away from the master realm, and it was a flying creature. It could move freely around the graveyard, the ancient forest, and the rocky plains.

On this day, he happened to fly near the human stronghold and sensed that the natural power of light and heat had been brought under someone’s control. That was the domain of the master realm, so he was attracted to this spot.

The strange bird circled the sky above Chen Yiming’s head, its gaze cold and fierce as it stared fixedly at the only living creature at the scene.

Chen Yiming was a little angry. “I can’t afford to provoke a female spirit, but how dare you glare at me like that?”

Thinking of this, he curled his finger at the strange bird in the sky.

The strange bird was probably used to killing freely and rarely encountered enemies who could fight against it. After Chen Yiming’s simple provocation, it swooped down from the sky.

Every time it flapped its wings, which were 70 to 80 meters wide, it could cause a huge gust of wind. It was just short of causing a storm.

Of the two heads, one had poison in its mouth, and lightning flashed in the other.

Chen Yiming waited for his opponent to fly low in the air before chanting in his heart, “Giant transformation.”

Immediately after, he heard the sound of clothes exploding.

He thought to himself that he had been so anxious that he had forgotten something important. At that moment, the anger in his eyes intensified, and he blamed the broken clothes on the strange bird.

In the eyes of the strange bird, the small creature on the ground had become a creature larger than it in the blink of an eye. Furthermore, he had an angry expression on his face, as if he wanted to eat it alive.

“What kind of monster is this?”

The strange bird’s mind instantly buzzed, subverting everything it had known since it was born. It instinctively flapped its wings and tried to fly back into the sky.

However, what greeted it was a huge palm. A mysterious pressure surrounded the huge palm that grabbed its wings. The strange bird’s expression changed drastically, and it struggled with all its might, but it could not move. It was as if an ordinary person was carrying a swan.

“Huff! Huff! Huff!”

“Bang! Clang! Clang!”

The venom and lightning formed by its internal force were spat out by the strange bird in a hurry.

A portion of it exploded on Chen Yiming’s body, and most of it landed on the wasteland, corroding a large area of the ground and creating huge holes.

“Behave yourself!”

Chen Yiming roared and swung his arm.

“Crack! Crack! Crack!”

The strange bird let out a scream. The bones in its two long necks instantly shifted and its necks went from curved to straight, and finally hung limply. It was clearly severely injured.

“It’s too weak. It weighs less than a chick.”

Chen Yiming looked at the strange bird, whose aura had weakened significantly. He casually threw it, and its body, which was more than 50 meters long, smashed into the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

The strange bird seemed to have accepted its fate and did not move at all. All that was left was its breathing.

He had yet to use much strength, but this creature from the otherworld, which was equivalent to a half-step away from the master realm, had already entered a half-crippled state. The venom and lightning that touched his body were not even able to tickle him.

The Giant Talent had brought about unimaginable power. This power could not be created out of nothing. There had to be a body with a matching level of strength.

Chen Yiming felt that his body had become stronger than ever. Unfortunately, he didn’t have a suitable opponent, so he couldn’t determine what level he was at.

“If only I had a master realm opponent right in front of me.”

Chen Yiming suddenly had a thought.

In reality, he had thought too much. The number of people on the blue planet who could mobilize the power of nature could be counted on one hand.

According to the size of the otherworld, creatures of this level were still very rare. Otherwise, the otherworld would have been scorched to the ground long ago.

In addition, the moment Chen Yiming grabbed the strange bird, he had used a mysterious force to suppress it. After that, he had carefully experienced it and vaguely guessed the standard for judging the combat strength of a martial master.

The moment he made his move, one portion of his body’s power resonated with the 99 portions of natural power, and a total of 100 times his strength was brought under his control.

This level of enhancement created an insurmountable gap between the master realm and the warrior realm. It was impossible to cross unless one had a special talent.

Chen Yiming roughly compared it with the situation when he fought with the barbarian sorcerer.

The other party’s enhancement should be about 10 times. In other words, one portion of his body’s power would resonate with nine portions of natural power.

100 times versus 10 times. In terms of the basic power of the body, the barbarian sorcerer was definitely inferior to him, who had a powerful talent. If he encountered him again, he might be able to kill him with one move.

“As expected, it makes sense for a giant to rely on its brute force,” Chen Yiming thought to himself.

A powerful body was the most advantageous weapon. By constantly tempering his body, he could easily get rid of almost all his enemies. The rest that he could not easily get rid of were all species with the same level of talent.

He glanced at the strange bird that was still breathing and decided to let it live for the time being. He would go back to the stronghold and see if there was any way to tame it.

If it could be tamed, it would be a good choice to keep it to guard the stronghold or use it for reconnaissance. On the other hand, it could also be used for food.
